Troubleshooting  
If there is no sound from any  
of the speakers, check the  
following:  
ence this problem, connecting the  
audio outputs from your hi-fi VCR,  
laser disc player, DVD player, or  
satellite receiver directly to one of  
the inputs on The Source will pro-  
vide a proper audio signal and  
allow you to enjoy true Dolby Pro  
Logic surround sound.  
If you have low bass output,  
check the following:  
• Experiment with placement of  
the subwoofer. Remember, place  
the subwoofer in a corner to get  
maximum bass output from the  
system.  
• Increase the level of bass,  
using the remote control.  
• Adjust the level control on the  
rear of the subwoofer.  
• Make sure the subwoofer is  
plugged into an active AC wall  
outlet.  
• Make sure the Master Power  
Switch, located on the rear of the  
subwoofer, is in the On/Standby”  
position.  
• Make sure there is a source –  
for example, a VCR or television –  
hooked up to the TV or tape/aux  
input jacks on The Source.  
• Make sure that the program  
material is playing.  
If there is no sound from the  
surround speakers or sound is  
very low, check the following:

the amplifier and each of the  
speakers.  
• Raise the surround volume  
from the remote control  
(see Operationsection).  
• Make sure the TV show or movie

the station’s transmitter, you may  
need to install an FM antenna on  
the roof or in the attic.  
• Recheck the hookup connec-  
tions.

little or no information from  
the surround channels, note the  
following:  
If there is no sound from the  
center speaker, check the  
following:  
Although most of today’s televi-  
sions are equipped with stereo  
audio output jacks, some stereo  
televisions have poor audio sec-  
tions and are unable to provide a  
Dolby Pro Logic encoded signal. In  
the unlikely event that you experi-  
• Make sure that the processor  
is in the Pro Logic mode. If it is  
in Phantom or Stereo mode, the  
center speaker will not play.
